Nike Vaporfly 4

Amazing shoes. the energy return is crazy and helps you run faster with less energy exertion

Always wanted a pair but could never justify the cost as only an occasional runner. But took the plunge. As soon as I put them on like nothing I’ve ever worn, and the first two runs have been incredible, both in terms of pace but also as a 50yo less stress on body. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Having started running in September ‘25 and starting in the Nike Structure these shoes take running to another level. When racing 5, 10 or half marathon distance you can feel the tech working beneath your feet. In my experience these are comfortable and fit true to size, there is no breaking in out of the box. The road grip even in the wet is great, and they’ve added another dimension to my running. I’ve seen time per km slashed by 10+ seconds without feeling like I’m running any harder. Truly impressive shoes
